Kule nyanga, isikhumba sikaCigno sigqamise ukwethulwa kwemikhiqizo emibili yesikhumba esekelwe ku-bio. Ingabe yonke imikhiqizo yesikhumba esekelwe ku-bio? Yebo, kodwa lapha sisho isikhumba esivela emifinweni. Imakethe yesikhumba esenziwe ngokwenziwa ifinyelele ku-$26 billion ngo-2018 futhi isakhula kakhulu. Kule makethe ekhulayo, isabelo sesikhumba esekelwe ku-bio siyanda. Imikhiqizo emisha ifinyelela esifisweni semikhiqizo yekhwalithi etholakala ngokuqhubekayo.
Isikhumba sokuqala se-Ultrafabrics esisekelwe kwi-bio
I-Ultrafabrics yethule umkhiqizo omusha: Isikhumba | I-Volar Bio. Le nkampani ifake izinto ezivuselelekayo ezisekelwe ezitshalweni kwezinye izendlalelo zomkhiqizo. Basebenzisa amakhemikhali asekelwe embotsheni ukukhiqiza ama-polyol e-polycarbonate polyurethane resin. Kanye nezinto ezisekelwe epulastini zokhuni ezifakwe endwangu yangemuva ye-twill. Kuhlelo lwe-US BioPreferred, i-Volar Bio ibhalwe ukuthi isekelwe ku-29%. Indwangu ihlanganisa ukwakheka okungabonakali kwemvelo nesisekelo esikhazimulayo kancane. Ikhiqizwa ngemibala ehlukahlukene: grey, brown, rose, taupe, blue, green kanye orange. I-Ultrafabrics ihlose ukufaka izithako ezisekelwe ku-bio kanye/noma okuqukethwe okuphinde kwasetshenziswa ku-50% wemikhiqizo emisha engeniswa ngo-2025. Futhi ku-100% yemikhiqizo emisha ngo-2030.
Izinto ezifana nesikhumba ezingenazo izilwane ezenziwe yi-Modern Meadow
I-Modern Meadow, umkhiqizi 'wezinto ezithuthukisiwe ngokwezinto eziphilayo' ithuthukise izinto ezihlala isikhathi eside ezifakwe esikhumbeni. Basebenzisana ne-Evonik, inkampani enkulu yamakhemikhali akhethekile, ukuze ikhiqize umkhiqizo wayo ezingeni lezentengiselwano. Ubuchwepheshe be-Modern Meadow bukhiqiza i-collagen engenazo izilwane, iphrotheni etholakala ngokwemvelo ezikhumbeni zezilwane, ngenqubo yokubilisa kusetshenziswa amaseli emvubelo. Inkampani entsha izosungulwa eNutley, eNew Jersey, e-USA. Izinto ezibizwa ngokuthi i-ZoaTM zizokhiqizwa ngezindlela ezahlukene, ubukhulu, ukuthungwa kanye nemibala.
Ingxenye eyinhloko yalesi sikhumba esisekelwe ku-bio yi-collagen, ingxenye eyinhloko yesakhiwo ezikhumbeni zenkomo. Ngakho-ke izinto ezivelayo zifana kakhulu nesikhumba sezilwane. I-Collagen inezinhlobo eziningi kanye nezinhlelo zokusebenza ezidlula izinto ezifana nesikhumba. Njengeprotheni eningi kakhulu etholakala emzimbeni womuntu, inezinhlelo eziningi zemithi kanye nezokwelapha. I-Collagen ikhuthaza ukuphulukiswa kwamanxeba, iqondisa ukuvuselelwa kwezicubu futhi ingavuselela isikhumba, izindawo lapho i-Evonik inemisebenzi yocwaningo. Ukukhiqizwa kwe-ZoaTM kuzodala amathuba okukhiqiza isikhumba esisekelwe ku-bio esinezakhiwo ezintsha, njengezinketho ezilula, izinhlobo ezintsha zokucubungula, kanye nokwenza amaphethini. I-Modern Meadow ithuthukisa kokubili izinhlanganisela ezifana nesikhumba, ezivumela izakhiwo zemishini eziphezulu, kanye nezinto ezingezona ezihlanganisiwe.
